Draco admits he has trouble talking to Scorpius since his wife Astoria died. He had always envied the friendship between Harry, Ron and Hermione at school. Without friends, Albus could end up in a dark place (CC2.15).

Notes

Draco only had Crabbe and Goyle during his time at school - and they were not really adequate for a truly equal friendship. Ginny Weasley also admits that she envied the trio's friendship as well. This surprises Harry (CC2.15).

This is the first time that Harry and Draco have a civilised conversation with each other - and it turns out that they are able to talk about parenting and growing up. It feels like they have finally realised what they have in common after so many years of being enemies (CC2.15).
